Overview

Engendering Church explores the power, processes, and circumstances that brought about new gender relations in the African Methodist Episcopal Church -- one of the largest African American denominations in the United States. Jualynne Dodson tells the heroic stories of women like Sara Hatcher Duncan, who emerged from behind the scenes to confront the hierarchy of male clergy. Dodson's historical account of the AME Church and its many changes shows that unless women hold church positions, they are overlooked as proactive agents of organizational power. She also links women in the Church to broader social change. When women began to function in key leadership roles in African American churches, they also contributed toward more rapid improvement in living conditions for blacks in the United States.
